From Evidence to Practice: Implementation and Evaluation of the Discontinuation of Patient Contact Shielding in Paediatric Radiography

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This implementation science study evaluated the removal of patient contact shielding in paediatric radiography at a quaternary Australian hospital. Guided by the COM‐B model and Theoretical Domains Framework, the policy change was implemented with minimal disruption. Fewer than 0.5% of families raised any concerns, demonstrating that even long‐standing

Haptoglobin is an early indicator of survival after radiation-induced severe injury and bone marrow transplantation in mice

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the main treatment for acute radiation sickness, especially after fatal radiation. The determination of HSCT for radiation patients is mainly based on radiation dose, hemogram and bone marrow ...

Modelling radiobiology

Physics in Medicine & Biology
Abstract Radiotherapy has played an essential role in cancer treatment for over a century, and remains one of the best-studied methods of cancer treatment. Because of its close links with the physical sciences, it has been the subject of extensive quantitative mathematical modelling, but a complete understanding of the mechanisms of ...

Copper-64 Chloride Exhibits Therapeutic Potential in Three-Dimensional Cellular Models of Prostate Cancer

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer type in men, and in advanced metastatic stages is considerable incurable. This justifies the need for efficient early diagnostic methods and novel therapies, particularly radiopharmaceuticals with ...

A new perspective on cancer treatment: the interaction and application prospect between ICIs and radiotherapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and radiotherapy synergistically enhances efficacy through an “antigen release‐immune activation” closed‐loop mechanism, significantly improving outcomes in solid tumors (e.g., lung cancer, melanoma).

Radiation biology - An important science for an advanced nuclear nation like South Africa

South African Journal of Science, 2012
The sustainability of radiation biology (radiobiology) is under threat in South Africa because of underdevelopment in the discipline, despite the fact that South Africa has been a user of radiation since radioactivity and X-rays were discovered.

Ovarian Cancer Radiosensitivity: What Have We Understood So Far?

Life, 2022
Radiotherapy has been increasingly considered as an active treatment to combine with other approaches (i.e., surgery, chemotherapy, and novel target-based drugs) in ovarian cancers to palliate symptoms and/or to prolong chemotherapy-free intervals.

Recent Progress in the Development of Metal‐Based Radiosensitizations for Cancer Therapy: A Review

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) remains an indispensable means in cancer treatment; however, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited by tumor radioresistance and side effect of damage to healthy tissue. The advances in nanotechnology have propelled metal radiosensitizers to forefront of precision medicine.
